THE SOUTHERN SCOURGE.
FROM JACKSONVILLE.
Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 26.—One
hundred and three new cases of fever
were reported for the past twenty-four
hours, 31 of them among the
whites and 72 among the colored peo-pie.
The deaths reported are seven.
Total cases to date 2237, total deaths
229.
EVERYTHING QUIET.
Texarkana, Sept. 26.—Everything
is very quiet on the yellow fever sub-ject,
and although the quarantine is
rigidly enforced no danger is appre-hended.
QUARANTINE RAISED.
Shreveport, La., Sept 26.—'The citi-zens’
meeting last night to take into
consideration the New Orleans quar-antine
was largely attended. It last-ed
several hours and many speeches
were made. A resolution was unan-imously
adopted that it was the sense
of the meeting that the quarantine
against New Orleans should remain
in force.
To-day the board of health raised
the quarantine against New Orleans.
This action is against the wishes of a
large majority of our citizens.
Close Fight for Michigan.
Washington, Sept 26.—The Dem-ocrats
are evidently determined to
make a bard fight for Michgan. Post-master
General Dickinson, who left a
few days ago to enter into the cam-paign
in that state, has been followed
by the entire Democratic congression-al
delegation, who say they will enter
the field at once and remain in it un-til
election day. They all realize that
a hard fight confronts them, but more
than one before their departure ex-pressed
themselves in the most hope-ful
manner.
Struck it Rich.
Dallas, Sepr 27.—D. W. Farris ar-rived
in the city a few days ago from
Kansas City, enroufe to Mexico, where
he owns extensive property. Seven
years ago he came to Dallas from
Missouri, and finding nothing better to
do accepted an engagement as driver
of a milk wagon which business he
prosecuted for two years. He was a
smart boy, with a good education and
raising, observing which Mr* Francis
Fendrich suggested to him that he
should seek a more lucrative and de-sirable
position than that he was en-gaged
in. Acting on the suggestion
he threw up his job and went to Col-orado.
There he found times dull,
and for the want of better to do served
a two years’ engagement at cow pun-ching,
from which he realized several
hundred dollars. With that small
capital he drifted into Mexico, going
to Durango, where he engaged in
mining and is now worth half a million
dollars.
A Wife Beater.
Texarkana, Sept 26.—This after-noon
Ed Parker attacked his wife with
a soda-water bottle about some trivial
matter. The blow inflicted a painful
wound, which bled profusely, though
it is not considered dangerous. The
woman is in a delicate condition.
After committing the dastardly deed
Parker fled across the state line into
Arkansas, but was pursued and
captured by officer Gregory. He re-fused
to go back to Texas, but when
the Arkansas police learned of the of-fence
they pushed Parker over the
line, saying they had enough wife-beaters
in Arkansas already and would
not think of tolerating more. The
Texas officer then locked Parker up.

Lessing, Solomon & Rosenthal,
Tiie Bean Verdict.
Bonham, Sept. 26.—The Tom Bean
trial, which excited more interest than
any case ever heard of in Texas courts
closed to-day. The trial was for the
administratorship, the fight being
between H. P. Howard, postmaster of
San Antonio, who, with Mrs. Sarah A.
Dove, of Washington. D. C., claimed
to be cousins of Tom Bean, and W.
W. Russell of this city, who based his
claim simply on being a disinterested
citizen. J. W. Saunders, the man who
swears to the remarkable statement
that Tom Bean ivas his brother, who
was compelled to change his name
from Saunders to Bean in order to
conceal his identity on account of a
murder committed in Tennessee in
1834, was an intervenor in this trial
and urged the claims of W. W. Rus-sell.
The jury was out nearly twenty-four
hours. The verdict was for W.
W. Russell. In the last November
county court Howard was thought to
have presented undoubted evidence of
his relationship and was granted let-ters
of administratorship and the pres-ent
trial was on appeal by Russell,
urged by Saunders: Howard’s attor-neys
have filed motion for a new trial
and if this is not granted an appeal to
the supreme court will be taken. The
Bean estate is valued at $5,000,000,
and a long series of litigation promises
to ensue among the claimants, who
have sprung us all over the United
States.
Said to toe Nearing: Completion.
Panama, Sept 26.—As to the com-pleted
canal contracts, a well
informed reporter says: “It is learned
that several contracts on the canal
have been finished, turned overto the
canal company and accepted. After
due inspection the facts are stubborn
things and these facts irreputably give
the lie to innumerable vague floating
rumors that are in circulation about
the Canal company shuttling down the
work. Of course they are reshutting
down, and just as fast as they can,
bu tonly so at the completion of their
work. Other equally important sec-tions
also shortly shut down and the
outside world suspects it and whilst it
is yet buttonholing itself and speculat-mg
on the gloomy prospects of the
Panama Canal worics, the cable will
flash throughout Christendom with the
tidings that ships are plowing their
onward way over the Isthmus of Pan-ama.”
Biff Eire at Ft. Worth.
Ft. Worth, Sept. 27.—At 2:25 this
morning an alarm of fire was given,
and the department was out before
the great whistle was through blow-ing.
Huge clouds of gray smoke were
seen coming from the Spanish Moss
Collar Factory and Jute Bagging
Works, and in a few seconds sheets
of flame lighted up the city for a half
mile in ev.ery direction. The firemen
got to work promptly,' and soon had
three streams playing on the build-ing,
but from the character of the
material, which was highly inflama-ble,
it was soon apparent that the
building must go, In ten minutes
the flames had communicated to
Ketchum & Barton’s iron-clad car-riage
and wagon factory and it was
soon in flames. The firemen braved
every danger, and in some cases took
extraordinary risks, and so succeeded
in keeping the fire from communica-ting
to frame buildings adjoining on
the north and east.
The history of tho collar factory is
known to all and it was proving itself
a great success. It was the only fac-tory
of the hind in the United States,
and sold goods to New York, Cieve
land, Toledo, Cincinnati, New Orleans
St Louis, Kansas City and many other
places. Some time ago the jute bag-ging
department was added, and so
great was tse demand it was neeessa-ry
to work day and night to keep up
with orders.
The lost on the plant of the factory
is §25 000 to §30,000. owned by a stock
company. The buildings were owned
by Cetti & Roche, and were worth
some §8000, Ketchum & Barton had
stock and machinery to the value of
§10,000. The total loss, including raw
material, will be about §55,000. It is
understood that both machinery and
buildings were insured.
